Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

Centralized device control has strengthened compliance and continuously improves risk visibility
The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all. Hexnode UEM should be flexible in its solution offering. Currently, they only have around three types of licenses or packages, and whether you use the solution or the features or not, they are already included in the suite. Some products offer an a la carte solution, so in order to compete with those products, Hexnode UEM should consider repackaging the solution with respect to the region where it is being offered. The solution offered to India might not be optimal if it is offered to the Philippines or a different country, so the offering should be on a country-by-country basis or a regional basis.

Strong support and good central management but improvements in security management needed
Sophos Mobile offers features like cash mode and safe mode, and allows for central management, which I find effective for device security, though it depends on the clients' needs and the types of mobile devices used. The integration of the product is easier these days compared to ten years ago. The support provided by Sophos is notably good, and they care for their partners. Sophos has good customer support, and that is crucial for sustaining business relationships.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Intune is effective because of the configuration management and endpoint security it provides. The graphical interface makes it easier to configure and deploy devices."
"Conditional access has helped us tailor and enforce our security policies in the mobile space."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"One of the most valuable aspects of Microsoft Intune is its seamless integration with Azure Active Directory, offering capabilities akin to Group Policy Objects."
"The cloud base is perfect for me."
"Compliance and the policies that can be set are the most valuable features."
"I like Intune's ability to install software to a device remotely and push policy through the Azure portal."
"The most valuable includes managing everything from a single console."
"The agility is impressive, and it's simple to manage."
"Hexnode UEM has in-depth support of device operating systems, which is one of the most common requirements."
"It's very easy to use."
"We can easily manage the devices because it's already in the cloud. For example, if any phone that belongs to the company is lost, we can easily erase the data."
"They always add more features to this product."
"The most valuable feature is the mobile device management capability. You can easily manage all of your mobile devices."
"One of the most valuable features of Sophos Mobile is the Wifi password."
"The utmost importance lies in mobile security and its performance."
"Deploying the solution is very simple and can be done in less than one hour."
"Sophos Mobile has been rated nine out of ten for security and performance."
"Sophos Mobile offers features like cash mode and safe mode, and allows for central management, which I find effective for device security, though it depends on the clients' needs and the types of mobile devices used."
 

Cons

"The support is not particularly good. Sometimes when you open a case with Microsoft, you end up resolving the issue by yourself."
"You can have a bad day where 80% of the enrollments failed. The next day it's running with the same devices without any changes, and you don't know why."
"Enrollment into the Microsoft Intune service can still get easier, especially for legacy-managed systems, such as how we get it from a GPO or an SCCM configuration into Intune."
"I would like to see Intune improve its handling of hybrid domain joins."
"Applying security recommendations can be difficult in Microsoft Intune. Sometimes, they give you recommendations, but you need a different server to manage the pieces, or you have to go to each device individually. However, it has been improving. Before, there were certain policies you could not implement directly in Intune, but now I see progress. I would like to see more improvement in policy management, similar to how we used group policies on-premises."
"A detailed device diagnostic feature is missing. Also, operating system deployment and imaging are missing."
"There are a lot of updates coming from Microsoft that suddenly affect our security policies."
"Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft Intune is absolutely useless for protecting my environment."
"The packaging of the solution or the offering of Hexnode UEM could be improved or enhanced, because one package does not fit all."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"The support is only available in English right now, which is a bit of a problem for my users since they would prefer Spanish support."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile."
"The application might have issues with other software."
"I noticed that the VPN aspect is not included in Sophos Mobile. To acquire a VPN for mobile, I have to subscribe to Sophos endpoint, which only works on computers."
"One area that could be improved is the compatibility with all mobile platforms, including iOS and Android, especially with the older versions."
"For Sophos Mobile, it is difficult to get good support."
"The registration of the product during the initial setup has some issues, and it's not easy to get the quote. It's a bit cumbersome."
"To manage the Apple devices is not that straightforward there are a lot of features the other third parties solutions are offering which Sophos Mobile is not."
"It could be more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
"Intune's pricing is reasonable considering its benefits and the high costs it helps avoid."
"We don't pay for Intune because it is bundled with the premium subscription to Office 365. It includes Intune and Defender. I don't have to buy two extra products to manage my enterprise."
"Its pricing seems reasonable."
"The Intune license model is costly."
"It is not a cheap solution. The price for a device when you start using it at a large scale can be improved. It is covered under our enterprise agreement. We pay once a year. I am not aware of any additional costs."
"I liked the tool's pricing until P2 came into effect. I am unsure about the current value versus the cost of the new licensing model."
"Its price is in the medium range. It is acceptable because you're paying for the features. I am not aware of any additional costs."
Information not available
"The licensing fees are paid based on a one-year or two-year subscription."
"Apple is starting to do beta testing with their own solutions and for much cheaper than Sophos Mobile's price."
"The licensing is paid on a yearly basis."
"Sophos Mobile is inexpensive."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"My company needs to make yearly payments for the licensing charges attached to the product."
"The product is not suitable for smaller companies because its price is high."
